I think General Petraeus would make an excellent Secretary of State.

Sheriff David Clarke. He knows how to deal with crooks and criminals.

As much as I like Petraeus in many ways, his mishandling of classified material makes him unacceptable.

If he were a Democrat, that would be a resume builder.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think Mitt's a good choice. Efficient, bright, not-very-ideological - he'll do as he's told while trying not to make waves or a name for himself.

I think Rudy's slipping a bit mentally and too stubbornly independent for SoS.

No Petreaus
Hiring another SOS with problems handling classified material properly is a real poor start fir an administration that needs to pursue hillary Clinton for gross negligence and worse
Much less hiring the guy who was cia director during benghazi and did Jack squat to squelch the administration lies and coverup that led to the deaths of those men

All those credentials and a man can be so stupid to have an affair and share sensitive data. Patraeus is a risk.

Please not Romney. He couldn’t even deal with Candy Crowley and Obama.

He damn sure won’t be able to deal with Putin.

It’s Trump’s call, but Mittens is King of the Schmoes, with Joe Biteme his chancellor.

No. State has a classified material problem. Can’t put a guy with a classified material problem in charge.

Sounds just like Colin Powell 2.0 except with more ethical baggage
